...Soooo... basically it's a forced tribute from all potcoin users worldwide, to XYZ beneficiary whenever the 'owner' decided to flip the switch?
Why not comment in there what its future use was?
Why not add this into the git comments/explanation?
Why not simply have made it a feature within the wallet where the user could specify a percentage, a destination address, and an 'opt-in' switch?
Instead, this was slid under the door.
Not to mention, there's no easy way for folks to tell if their windows wallet has it disabled. Which is why I encourage people to check the CRC values against compiling from git source. If the CRC values vary, then there's going to be a lot of explaining to do.
I will say that there is an additional 40-50 lines of code that is in the leafcoin source that actually implements this change. I did not see it in the POT source, so I'm pretty sure this code change was the precursor to adding the rest of the code.
Mind you, that could be added to the windows wallet source as well, but I'm pretty sure people would notice the 2% missing from their locally mined blocks.
However, fuck the tax. If Potcoin wants to donate to research or charity, then start buying up ASIC gear, run an official 5% fee charity pool, and do things internally. I came to crypto to get away from taxes, not pay into them.
